The government authority in Regina, Saskatchewan is seeking a vendor to conduct a comprehensive IT autonomy feasibility study. The study will involve a detailed review of current IT and business infrastructure, focusing on academic activities, including student registration, academic records, and course management.

The vendor will assess existing IT infrastructure, applications, databases, integrations, and document dependencies on University of Regina systems and services. In addition, the project requires analyzing data management practices, security, privacy, and compliance requirements essential for academic operations.

Key tasks include identifying gaps in technical capabilities, operations, staffing, and governance needed for autonomous operations, recommending system architecture, platforms, tools, and business process redesigns where required. The vendor will also propose data migration and integration strategies, provide detailed cost estimates for feasible solutions—including software, hardware, implementation, and ongoing operational costs—and identify risks associated with the transition, with appropriate mitigation and contingency recommendations.
